DETROIT (1/10/19) -- Freshman Antoine Davis and senior Josh McFolley combined for 58 points and the University of Detroit Mercy men's basketball team routed Green Bay, 101-83, Thursday night at Calihan Hall.

The Titans (7-10, 4-1 HL) led 53-40 at halftime, but 14 unanswered points out of the break pushed the red, white and blue to the 18-point victory.

With the win, Detroit Mercy starts Horizon League play with a 4-1 mark for the first time since the 2010-2011 campaign. Green Bay (9-8, 3-1 HL) entered the contest atop the league standings with a then-unblemished 3-0 mark in league play.

Davis shot 12-of-19 from the field, 4-of-7 from behind the arc and dished out five assists against Green Bay.

The star rookie's historical season continued in a big way Thursday, as Davis broke the university's record for points by a true freshman in a single season after a 3-pointer with 10:59 remaining in the first half. The record was previously held by former Titan great Ray McCallum, who scored 446 points during the 2009-2010 season.

McFolley shot 10-of-16 from the field and drilled in a game-high six triples for Detroit Mercy. He added five steals and is now seven shy of tying Titan Hall of Famer Rashad Phillips (1998-01) for third place in career steals.

The Titans never trailed against Green Bay. Their largest lead was 28 points with 8:39 left in the second half.

Sophomore Jordan Gorman hit a jump shot with 39 seconds left as Detroit Mercy crossed the 100-point mark on the night. It had been six years to the date since the Titans' last scored at least 100 points in a victory over a Division I opponent. On Jan. 10, 2013, the red, white and blue toppled Youngstown State 101-60.

Junior Harrison Curry and graduate student Derrien King also finished in double figures scoring for the Titans, each chipping in 11 points. Curry shot 4-of-5 from the field and grabbed 10 boards for his first double-double as a Titan.

Freshman Chris Brandon grabbed seven boards and senior Gerald Blackshear Jr. and King had  five caroms apiece.

Next up for the Titans is a matinee matchup with Milwaukee at Calihan Hall on Saturday, Jan. 12 at 1 p.m. Fans can watch the tilt on ESPN+ or listen to the broadcast on Radio 910 AM.
